iPad Hack Statement Of Responsibility
Editor's note:Andrew Auernheimer,also known by his pseudonym weev, is an American grey hat hacker and self-described Internet troll.Follow him on Twitter @rabite.In June of 2010 there was an AT&T webserver on the open Internet. There was an API on this server, a URL with a number at the end. If you incremented this number, you saw the next iPad 3G user email address. I thought it was egregiously negligent for AT&T to be publishing a complete target list of iPad 3G owners, and I took a sample of the API output to a journalist at Gawker. I did this because I despised people I think are unjustly wealthy and wanted to embarass them. I thought this is the United States of America where we have the right to do basic arithmetic and query public webservers.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/nolZkkUFGPA/
